Safari Contest - Barren Island (Closed)

[Requiem of Whyspers]

Stepping inside the Safari Zone with Genevieve's Pokeball in hand, Lykas registered himself and his partner for participation, received his capture pods and headed out. He'd seen a shoreline inside the area from outside and figured he'd try his hand at fishing out there and see if he could find any new Water-types.

He found a comfortable spot to sit and cast a line out into the water, tossing a small Will-o-Wisp out to hover above his hook as a sort of lure to help attract fish to the small, flickering light.

When his hook suddenly gained nearly 80 pounds and he could hardly even reel it in, he ended up sending Genevieve out to help him retrieve whatever he'd hooked. The Dewpider walked out onto the water's surface and dove in. It took a few minutes for him to return but when he did, he was dragging a Slowpoke behind him in a Spider Web net.

"Huh... Interesting." Lykas sighed. Even if he tried to battle it, Slowpoke were notoriously stupid so how much good would it really do him? Slowpoke wouldn't even realize that it was being attacked.

"Well, I guess enjoy a snack while I keep fishing?" He told Genevieve. The spider nodded and quickly sank it's fangs into the Slowpoke's tail, sucking the sweet, nectar-like substance that oozed from the salamander's tail while Lykas continued fishing for something else. Slowpoke didn't even seem to notice, though.

With Genevieve sucking the life out of a Slowpoke, Lykas had cast his line back into the water. It took several minutes for another bite to become apparent but when it did, Lykas was able to reel it in this time with much less trouble. When the Pokemon on his hook breached the water's surface, though, it caused the hybrid to laugh. "I already have one of you on my team and I really don't feel like raising another one." He told the Magikarp as he reeled it it and removed the hook from it's mouth. The carp didn't seem to have any desire to leave, though, remaining close to shore and pestering him with it's incessant "Karp karp karp!" and useless Splashing until he became fed up with it.

"Genevieve, use Liquidation and knock it back into deeper water." Lykas instructed his water spider.

"Dew dewpiii!" Genevieve agreed as it released Slowpoke's tail. What he hadn't noticed while sucking the dopey Pokemon's candy-flavored appendage, was it's near continuous use of Slack Off. It was no wonder it didn't seem to be losing any of it's "zest" for life. When Genevieve slammed a water-coated body into Margikarp and sent it skipping across the water's surface, the carp came back a moment later and received a burst of healing energy from Slowpoke via Heal Pulse.

Magikarp wasn't particularly strong but it still managed to Tackle Genevieve as payback for it's unrepentant body slam a moment before. "Use Infestation this time." Lykas directed as he cast his line back into the water, further away from the battle going on beside him. Genevieve nodded and spawned countless tiny spiders from the water bubble on his head. The tiny watery arachnids crawled towards both Magikarp and Slowpoke, biting at them both repeatedly. It might not be very strong but the damage would add up rather quickly. Before too long, the pair ended up collapsing from failure to even notice how badly their energy was being drained by the tiny army.

"Took 'em long enough..." Lykas commented to himself.  

[Arkelos]

Arkelos enters the main island. "Well Rockruff, i guess this is where it all starts. Let's do our best and see if we can't find a new friends to join the family." Rockruff lets out a bark with agreement.

Seconds later, a pokemon comes jumping out at them.
