“From what I read in the Pokédex, it is definitely an Electric type. And for a wild one, he sure is being absolutely friendly to strangers,” Isabela awkwardly confirms it with Radley, “Unless I have a Ground type to shoo him away, he might be following me and Carmen around Jotho until I could somehow catch him.”

“Bellibot! Bolt,” the frog croaks again.

[crystalmaster]

Radley tries to back away without it being obvious he's backing away. "I don't think you should make him mad," he says. "He's so friendly, he probably wouldn't be hard to catch. Maybe he wants to go with you and he'd just agree to it without a battle. A couple of mine just followed us around and came with us willingly."

[senorita_perfecta]

“Wait, I could catch him if he doesn’t want to fight? He doesn’t look like the type to start a fight.”

Radley, did you just encourage her to catch this electric frog? She does have some PokéBalls laying around for her to use. So maybe she can get her first catch right about now. Rushing back to her bag to retrieve one, the Bellibolt happily cheers as she returns with it.

“Belli-bolt!” the Bellibot croaks again as she puts it near him so he could touch the ball’s button.

“Um here? Try to touch the button on this ball to get inside,” she tells him.

The Bellibolt happily taps on it before he gets sucked into the ball via energy. It took a while for the ball to register it but the Bellibolt has now joined her team.

[crystalmaster]

Radley has to smile, touched, at how excited the Bellibolt is.

"Awww, that's sweet. He really does like you."

Evie dances and warbles.

[senorita_perfecta]

“Oh gee, thanks. I didn’t expect to get my first catch so soon. He is really adorable now that I think about it,” Isabela can now have a relief now that Bellibot is in her team.

“Bud-Dew! Budew, Budew,” Carmen cheers from the picnic blnaket.

[crystalmaster]

"Yeah. I always think it's cute when a Pokemon takes a shine to somebody," Radley says. "I got an Espurr and a couple of other Eevees that way."

[senorita_perfecta]

“Awww that is really sweet. I honestly thought that I need to have Carmen battle many Pokémon in order for me to catch them. That seems to what I have seen from watching other trainers so far,” Isabela sheepishly admits to him.

“Bud-Dew, dew! Budew.”

[crystalmaster]

"A lot of Trainers do that, yeah," Radley says. "But it seems like it's not always necessary."

Evie started talking to Budew now. "Vee-vee-vee!"

[senorita_perfecta]

“Bud-Dew, Budew, Dew, Budew!” Carmen happily greets Evie.

“Wow! I didn’t know that there are more ways to catch more Pokémon aside from battling them until they get tired out. Thanks for the tip, I honestly appreciate it a lot,” Isabela smiles in relief, “Anyway, I was in the middle of setting a picnic lunch when I first heard Bellibolt making noises by the pond. I was wondering if you and Evie would like to join me and Carmen today.”

[crystalmaster]

"Sure," Radley smiles. "I'm definitely glad there's more ways."

Evie dances at the invitation. "Eeveeee!"

Radley laughs. "We'd be happy to accept. Thanks!"

[senorita_perfecta]

“That’s great! There is always room for more,” thankfully the winds are slowly dying out as she gets the picnic area ready after a rough first time.

Carmen happily cheers and jumps up and down as she and her Trainers gets some company to have a great lunch while Isabela brings out some food and drinks for everyone to share (sandwiches, fruit salad, veggie sticks and soft drinks).

[crystalmaster]

Evie warbles happily as everything is brought out.

"It all looks really delicious," Radley smiles.

[senorita_perfecta]

“Oh gee thanks,” Isabela blushes a bit, “I managed to get them from a Pokémart earlier and I did my best to make the sandwiches from some of the ingredients that I picked up from there.”

[crystalmaster]

"Great!" He starts to eat. "Delicious!"

Evie chirps in delight as she eats too.

"So, have you been here long?" Radley curiously asks.

[senorita_perfecta]

“Just only a few days I believe. I’m still new to Jotho so I am still trying to get used to being a Trainer,” she tells him, “That is also how long I got Carmen with me.”

“Bu-Dew, Budew, Budew,” Carmen happily speaks in between bites of Pokefood.

[crystalmaster]

"The first few days can be hard," Radley agrees. "But having Pokemon friends definitely helps."

Evie makes a cute trill of agreement.

[senorita_perfecta]

“Oh why thanks, Radley. It is always helpful to have someone by your side at the start of one’s journey. Carmen certainly does fit the bill pretty. Is that right, Carmen?”

“Budew! Budew, Dew!”

[crystalmaster]

Radley smiles. "It was a lot easier to get through everything at first with this sweetheart here." He pets his loving Pokemon, who nuzzles him.

[senorita_perfecta]

She happily nods in agreement, feeling a little more hopeful being in a new world.

“This place seems to be rather peaceful aside from encounters with wild Pokémon. Has there been anything unusual that this place gets at some point?”

[crystalmaster]

Radley sighs a bit. "There's a lot of unusual things," he admits. "Usually harmless but weird. But then there's Team Rocket, a criminal organization that steals Pokemon. You have to watch out for them."

[senorita_perfecta]

Uh oh, there is an evil group wanting to snatch up Pokémon from people? That sounds really terrible and Isabela is starting to worry for her team already when Radley mentions them to her. Carmen looks confused as she turns to her Trainer, “Bud?”

“Oh dear, that sounds very horrible. Stealing Pokémon from their trainers is not a great thing at all. I might have to watch out for them and look after my team around the clock.”

[crystalmaster]

"Yeah, you do that. A lot of them are apparently in disguise, so they might try to trick you sometime," Radley says.

[senorita_perfecta]

“Oh okay. They must be very clever in hiding among the local populace. Thanks for the heads up. I wish that there is something I can do to help out even if I have no way to access my gift in this world.”

[crystalmaster]

"It sure seems like it."

Radley pauses, blinking in confusion. "Your gift?"

[senorita_perfecta]

“Oh wait, I haven’t mentioned about the magic in my world? Back in my world, my family has this magical miracle that has been in the family for generatioms and most of us have unique powers of our own that are granted onto us by it as children. Outside of it, everything else is fairly normal. And there is also our home that is very magical and very sentient too.”
