[Did Sidon find himself in this place again? Oh my, he did. He's been in this land a few times now in short bursts, but these bursts were long enough that he felt he could gather information to keep each time. Why did this place seem to search for him so?

Not that he minded the detour in the end, because now he knew that this was still so temporary. After all, he stuck out like a sore thumb wherever he went. He heard many people dragged here for long term kept a "human" appearance. Which he gathered was another word for Hylian.

Him as a Hylian, or human, what a thought...Better not entertain that too much.

But anyway, returning meant he could play with his many Wooper friends again! Oh he loved them so! They followed him as he began to explore the woods and the lakes. He had gotten more adventurous here.

Was that?

Oh my, that young man was having an issue catching Pokemon. He should help!]

Young man, hello? Are you alright out here?

Haaai!

[Wehn Sidon approaches Haga has resigned himself to sitting on the ground, staring holes at the Pokeball in his hand as his Foomantis stands next to him, looking at the ball with curiosity. She really doesn't understand the gravity of the situation at hand.

Haga is ready to snap at the person talking to him - he's already ticked off as it is, he doesn't need some rando's pity - but the moment he turns his head to face whoever was talking to him he can't help but stop and stare. This guy is tall. Really tall. And also ridiculously pretty.]

A-Ah... [Haga stutters for a moment and quickly gets up. The guy looks a little less tall now, but he still towers over Haga.] Hah! It's no big deal! It's just that throwing this ball is a little tricky! [He tries his best to disguise his frustration. He isn't about to look like he doesn't know what he's doing in front of a guy like this.] Just trying to get the hang of it, that's all!

[poisesidon]

[People not getting shocked at his appearance was continually a pleasant sight around here. He knew not many people here knew what a Zora was, but the Pokémon and folk from afar helped people get used to the idea that many come and look different. So, it was easy for Sidon to continue on.]

Ah, I see I see! I agree, it is rather tricky. And Pokémon are not simple creatures. Far from it.

[His Wooper army around him all gave a "WOOPA" in agreement. Even the ones that took a ride on his head fin.]

Sometimes you have to consider it is less the technique and more your approach. What are you trying to catch, these insects?

[Referring the Caterpie on the trees.]

[spoiledbugboy]

[The small army of blue Pokemon around the guy didn't go unnoticed, but Haga decides not to bring it up for now. He has more pressing matters at hand.

Haga scratches the back of his head, turning to look at the Caterpie scooting around not too far from them.]

Yeah, one of those. They look kinda cool and I wanted one for my team, but I guess my aim is lacking a bit... [Might as well be honest about it. Otherwise he isn't getting anywhere in this new, strange world. He needs at least some guidance. The trainer guide only taught him so much.]

The guide told me that I should weaken them before I catch them, but they just look so fragile... [He's genuinely worried about hurting them. And he doesn't know just how strong Queenie is. After all, he still didn't have a single battle with her.]

[poisesidon]

Ah yes, I have indeed heard of the Trainers' Method.

[He mused this politely as he went toward a group of Caterpie perched on a particular branch. Though they seemed frightened of the approaching Zora at first, Sidon noticed their squirming and smiled at them brightly.]

It is alright, little ones. We mean you no harm. This one here just wishes to be friends.

[Sidon offered an arm slowly, extending respectfully to the branch. Sure enough...one of the Caterpie inched over and started to slink onto his arm. His scales were tough, but he still chuckled at the ticklish spots it crawled on. Another followed...Sidon looked to Haga again.]

You care about their wellbeing then, yes? Pokémon are not unlike people, some respond well when you allow them the freedom to express themselves.
