 Shockstar skidded to a halt in the grass, a red and white plastic ball falling from his mouth as he cursed loudly to himself. "Gosh darn it!!!!!" he near about shouted for anyone and everyone around him to hear. "Why wont you stay put!!!" he screeched, shaking a hoof at the last bit of fleeting fur his black gaze held. The creature disappeared over a hedge of bushes and clear out of the park grounds in a place he couldn't follow.
This had been the thirtieth time he had failed this week alone! How was he going to collect a strong team of pocket monsters to help himself become the very best like no one ever was... if he couldn't catch a single creature!! "ARGH!" he groaned loudly again, stomping his way over to a park bench and hauling himself up to sit grumpily.
Tossing his saddlebag to the side, he began rummaging through it, mentally counting allowed how much supplies he had left. "Three.....six...seven....Seven. Only seven more left! That means I've used...." he paused, holding up his hooves as if he intended to count upon them. Instead he ended up with furrowed brows. "A bajillion balls! All wasted. " he sighed, crossing his hooves as he proceeded to pout in silence. His uniquely shaped tail twitched on occasion, his eyes falling short in deep, deep, deep contemplation. LizzyMoo Hurr you go, one grumpy yellow bean!

 It wasn't hard to hear somephony having a difficult time. He was a very loud somephony! It was easy to understand why he would have caught the passing-by Out of Orbit's attention.
The filly slowly approached the bright yellow Phony (who had a pretty interesting tail), one hoof in front of the other. Her own long tail flicked a bit in a curious manner. She wanted to know what this colt was going on about, but his loud tone had somewhat startled the now approaching filly.
So rather than directly ask What are you yelling about, the Filly resorted to silently stopping in front of the colt, looking about as baffled as possible.Fea Line SHE DUZ NOT KNOW WUT TO SAY D8

The interesting looking foal stayed as he was for a moment longer, the other having been much more quiet than he didn't alert him to anyone's presence. It wasn't until after he got the feeling that someone was watching him did he snap open his dark colored eyes.
Seeing the blue filly before him, Shockstare tilted his head though his upset expression didn't quite leave him. "Um...... hi?" he asked, quirking a brow, not sure why she was just staring at him. His tail flicked again as he pressed further. "Uh......whaaaat?"LizzyMoo WHY DO YOU HAVE SUCH CUTE ARTAAAHH

The moment that Out of Orbit had been spotted, her eyes shot to the ground immediately. She wasn't trying to be rude and stare, she really hadn't meant to. Yet now she felt as if she had been rude.
"I... I'm sorry... it's just... you... you sounded upset... I...I just..."
She looked up shyly. "...I-i wanted to know what you were doing..."

"....Oh." Shockstar blinked, rubbing a hoof through his hair. He had to lean forward almost to hear her, she was so soft and quiet. Biting his bottom lip, the colt thought a moment before sighing. "I was... trying to capture this critter. But it ran away.... they always run away." he mumbled the last bit, looking away, ears flat against his head.
He folded his arms across his chest and huffed, his tail flicking again sort of like an angry cat. Then an idea hit him. Slowly turning his gaze back to her, he looked her over then spoke. "Don't suppose... you have anything that could help me catch em.... do ya?" he blinked, not at all being in any way specific. He just automatically assumed she would know what he was talking about. LizzyMoo thats what i meant rofl, you make such cute <3

Out of Orbit repeated "C-capture a critter?" That was a vague explanation, if anything! The filly wasn't quite certain what he meant by it.
The colt had asked for her help, and where as Out of Orbit was eager to do what she could to help him out, she did have to reel herself back in from instantly saying YES.
Lifting up a hoof and pawing it at the ground beneath her, she asked "Well... um... how does o-one go about capturing a critter? I-i've never done it before... so..." She tapped the ground with her hoof again. "...could you show me?"

Slightly frowning, Shockstar's ears fell forward and flat against his head. He did his best to reel in his face from giving her a complete grumpy look. It wasn't her fault he was having a bad day after all. "Sorry... its uh..." he paused, trying to figure out the best way to explain things.
Turning towards his bag he reached in and dug out one of the red and white plastic balls from within. Holding it out too her, but not enough to let her take it, he found what words he had to explain. "These things can capture monsters, creatures, so that I can..... train them to fight for me." he blinked then glanced around a bit, spotting a group of pigeons pecking at the grass a few feet away. "Those are said critters. Except I can't seem to get any because they always run off....." he pointed at the feathered beasts, his mouth scrunching up at the last part as he shot the birds a threatening glance.

Wide eyes focused in on the plastic ball the colt held out, but hooves remained on the ground to prevent herself from reaching for one. It was amazing to think that these little balls could catch animals in them! Especially when she looked to the flock of birds and noticed that the birds were definitely larger than the balls. If anything, the filly wanted to see how it all worked!
However, Out of Orbit did note how the colt's frustrations were coming from not being able to catch the creatures. Which meant it was very unlikely that he'd be able to demonstrate his skills and show her how this all worked. Her tail flicked in puzzlement.
"I-i guess I could see why they might run away... i-if you are throwing balls at them..." That probably didn't make the colt feel any better! Immediately, she apologized "S-sorry! I... I mean... um... how much practice do you have throwing the balls at them? At moving things?"Fea Line HOW DO THE BIRBS FIT IN THE BALLS?!!

Shockstar's mouth opened....and then paused. He blinked at her, then at the ball he held in his hoof, then over towards the birds. For a few seconds, what she said made so much sense.
And then it didn't/ "No no. They are meant to go inside balls. That's how it all works! Its one of those things where its bigger on the inside." he waved his hoof half heartedly before his ears perked at her next question.
The colt sat a moment in thought. He could...or maybe should... say yes. After all, he spent half his time chasing things and tossing balls. That counted, didn't it? Or did it? "Um....." he said after a few moments, now looking rather sheepishly down at his bag. "I guess...not really. At least, not any kind of proper or formal training." he finished, now sounding rather bummed with himself. Why hadn't he thought to DO training like that? Becoming the very best didn't happen over night!LizzyMoo NANOMAJIKS.... !! Or delusional colt dreams!

Out of Orbit's ears pinned back as the colt's tone seemed to drop quite a bit. She hadn't meant to make him feel bad about anything, yet she seemed to be doing a good job of it unintentionally.
Hesitantly, she offered "Well... I might not be an official teacher... but... I can try to help... maybe..."
She looked down to her hooves, then up to the colt's black eyes, then to the mysterious plastic ball he held onto.
"...m-my names Out of Orbit, by the way..."Fea Line DON'T DO IT, OoO!!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WUT UR SIGNING UP FOR!

He frowned thoughtfully a moment at her words. She hardly knew him yet she was offering to help.
Maybe she was already a master and had a super strong powerful team?!!!
Shockstar peered over her once again trying to find any hidden capsules, though he saw none. Perhaps she had just left them at home. "That's awfully kind of you when you hardly even know me...." he said honestly, finding that slowly most of his anger had begun to ebb away. "I'm Shockstar, nice to meet ya Orbit." he smiled, sliding off the bench and offering her a proper wave.
He stood on his tip-hooves and snatched his bag then set it on the ground off to one side, digging out a few more of the round capsules. "So what did you have in mind? Birds can fly away too easily.... I'd need something that wouldn't run..." he said, looking hopeful but still sounding a bit unsure.... LizzyMoo He promises it wont hurt!!! Probably!! ... Maybe!

As the newly introduced Shockstar seemed to try and peer around her, the filly couldn't help but tilt her head in puzzlement. What was he looking for? She brushed it off as nothing, but she couldn't help but flick her tail at how her name was shortened. Out of Orbit wasn't sure how she felt about that sort of abbreviation yet.
Shockstar pulled more of the plastic balls out and began to muse a bit. "A-actually..." She paused drastically long, not certain if she should correct his statement or not. However, she eventually continued. "...you do need something that will run, but something that won't flee."
The filly had wide eyes focused on the plastic balls. With a bit of hesitation, she asked "Y-you... you can't trap a Phony in those balls, right?" Her hoof pawed at the ground, almost in a nervous manner.Fea Line ...but OoO doesn't want to be trapped in a ball forever!

Shockstar paused and blinked at her. "Oh.... right." he nodded at her correction. He technically did need something that would run, move, skip, something. But not away from him.
Laughing softly, he shook his hooves at her. "No no no they can't trap ponies, you are safe. Just monsters!" he nodded firmly, smiling at her. Then he blinked again, his tail flicking ever so slightly as he leaned closer a bit. "Unless.... you aren't really a pony...." he squinted an eye at her..... then laughed again. "Just kidding!" LizzyMoo He would never dream of such a thing! Unless she was really a pocket monster in disguise...!

Out of Orbit grew a bit flustered as Shockstar leaned in, making what could have almost been considered a serious accusation. The filly was quite certain she wasn't a monster. Then again, she was certain that birds weren't monsters either. They were too cute to be monsters.
She thought his accusation was quite serious until he said he was kidding. However, that didn't rectify the blush to her cheeks. Swallowing a little lump of air that got stuck in her throat, she offered "...W-well... I was just a-asking because... I... could..." She paused and gestured with a nod towards the area where the birds had been gathering.
"...try... i-if you think... that could work?"Fea Line OoO isn't a Pocket Monster...but maybe her PLAYER IS surprised surprised surprised twisted

The yellow colt blinked at her, following where she was pointing then gazed back at her. He wasn't quite processing what she was saying, no fault of hers. Sometimes he was a bit....slow. "You try?" he asked, tilting his head before glancing down at the orb he still held in his hoof. He glanced back over at his bag, taking mental stock of all the capsules he had left. He couldn't afford to lose anymore....
"No no if you threw it and you happened to catch it, then it would become yours. Not mine." he shook his head slightly, tapping a hoof to his chin in thought. He would like to see if she could though...maybe he could study her techniques? Unless she meant to be his target?? "Wait.... did you mean you want to try throwing one or try being a target?" he asked. Brains didn't run strongly through this colts head.... but he tried.
