Safari Contest [Isolated Island] - (Open)

[Requiem of Whyspers]

"Get going, already!" Lykas insisted, following behind Odd, tentacles crossed in front of himself like an extra set of arms.

"Why?!" Odd questioned, trying to resist Lykas' urging. "What possible good would it do me to come out here and get lost on an deserted island?"

"I heard some rare Pokemon have been sighted out here recently. Ones people haven't seen or heard about in ages, if ever." Lykas responded, proceeding to push Odd on again. "Imagine how much money we could make the team if we catch one and do publicity shows or something like that."

"That's not really why we should be catching Pokemon, though." Odd countered, being shoved towards the counter in the only actual building he'd seen so far.

"Tough ~/~! Get going!" Lykas retored, shoving one last time and causing the channeler to stumble forward to the desk, where he was registered and handed three Safari Balls without him actually doing anything.

"I'm going fishing outside!" Lykas called back as he produced a very nice looking fishing rod from his pocket, extending it to it's full length as he tied a bobber to the line.

"Guess it's too late to back out now." Odd muttered as he took the Safari Balls he was offered and then paused for a moment. "Um....How'd you register me?"

"Guru...."

"Nevermind!" He yelped when presented with a large white ape, armed with what looked like a fan in one of it's human-like hands. What the hell was that?!

It didn't take him long after his quick escape to find himself near the beach, within eyesight of Lykas fishing by the entrance. Strange they'd leave this place unguarded like that but then again, the thing that took care of his registration was a good sign things here were a bit different than most places.

Deciding he may as well explore the shipwreck a bit, Odd entered the wreckage and almost immediately came face-to-face with a Gastly. "Not what I'd call rare but who knows, you might be in this part of the world. Still not my cup of tea, though. " He told it as he took a small jump backwards and released Entr'Acte the Honedge. He was still infected with the Shadow Virus, of course, but that was what Odd was here for, primarily. This place was isolated enough that if anything got infected, it shouldn't spread which meant that he could work on getting the thing out of his precious Pokemon's system. "Shadow Claw!" He called, watching as the Sword Pokemon's blade took on a black glow before it wound up and slashed at Gastly. The Gas Pokemon responded by throwing a fist of condensed, darkness-infused gases at him. Sucker Punch. Thankfully it didn't have the advantage of being tough enough to survive Entr'Acte's attack and it's gaseous body dissolved after the slash, leaving the aggressive blade both victorious and angry. Where was the challenge?!  

[Requiem of Whyspers]

Except Gastly wasn't done, yet. The gaseous Pokemon dissolving had all been a part of it's next attack. It reappeared right next to Entr'Acte, reforming into a solid entity in an instant, blasting Ghost energy from it's form into the Steel-type ghost's own body. "Gas!" It cried as it reformed, expecting the Honedge to flinch in fear. No such reaction came, however, as Entr'Acte infused his blade with Dark energy and wiped around with a Night Slash. This time, he was certain the other Ghost wouldn't return.

Amaranth would end up transported here before she knew it, thanks to the team's resident Claydol. A cursory glance would happen in short order, if only to try and actually get her bearings straight in the odd place she and the others were at now.

Odd didn't have a chance to move again before he was presented with a new Pokemon, though he had to admit it didn't pose much of a challenge. So he recalled Entr'Acte and escaped before it could spot him. Choosing battles wisely and all that, after all.

Dan entered the fray, pokeball in hand and Pokemon at his side. He took in a deep breath before exhaling, taking in the scenery of the island forest. "It feels like ages since I've been in a Safari Contest" he remarked, feeling a little excited. It seemed every time he participated in one, he always managed to find a new dragon partner to add to his team. He expected no different from this venture! The Shelgon beside him, yawned, unsure why he had to walk around for this part. If he could have it his way, he'd find one of those tall trees back near the beach to lounge beneath. Fantasizing, the dragon was brought from his thoughts when he trainer called out. "There's something moving over there. Let's check it out, Shelgon" Dan grinned.
