Starting Fresh (Catching)

They were digging through the ruins, checking to see if they could find anything interesting among the rubble, when some of the rubble moved. Honoka wouldn't have noticed it were it not for the sound of falling rocks and her Dratini making a startled noise and jumping back. And for the fact the ground started moving under her feet. It turns out Honoka had been standing not on a pile of rubble, but on the head of a sleeping Geodude. She jumped off while she still had balance and one hand went to her whip. Not that it would do her much good against that. The noise might distract it if they needed to make a fast get away but she wasn't counting on it.

The Pokemon shook itself, smaller rocks and dust dislodging from the thing's body. It looked around, obviously disgruntled at having been woken in such a manner. Honoka couldn't blame it; if someone had been standing on her head she would have been irritated too. It blinked blearily upon spotting Honoka and Kin, eyes narrowing into a thoroughly irritated glare. Seeing as they were the only ones around, it would assume they were the ones that woke it up. It's first instinct would be to throw a wave of mud at Honoka and her Pokemon. It covered the both of them and the surrounding area, making Honoka gasp in shock and at the cold.

Kin shook his head, freeing his face from as much mud as he could, and would Leer at the Geodude. The still sleepy Geodude wouldn't have time to react as Kin used some Extreme Speed to hit the Geodude. They were outside, so there wasn't too much worry about running into a wall from not being able to stop in time at least. The Geodude would try to tackle the Dratini and it would be met with another Extreme Speed attack, both Pokemon taking damage this time.

Honoka was still wiping mud off her skin when Kin hit the Geodude with a third Extreme Speed attack. It Tackled her Dratini again, and then Kin turned around and Wrapped it for some lingering damage, and to prevent the Geodude from fighting back further. The Dratini was pissed that the Geodude had "attacked" his trainer, and he wasn't going to go easy on the Geodude because of this. As Wrap continued to do damage, her Dratini would try Leer again and then another Extreme speed hit. He seemed to be fond of how fast he could move with this, and how little the other Pokemon could do when he used it.

Her face finally clear, Honoka called out to her Pokemon. "Kin, it's fine, I'm not hurt or anything. Its just mud. Come on, stand back, we're gonna try to catch this guy now that you've done some damage." Her Pokemon reluctantly would listen to her, glaring at the Geodude the whole time, while she threw a Pokeball to try to catch it.

GEODUDE!
Level 5
Male
Rock Head
Defense Curl, Tackle, Mudsport
This Geodude loves his sleep. He's a rather lazy Pokemon, all things considered, preferring to sun himself on some rocks rather than do anything. Its also a bit of a glutton, loving to snack, and will never turn down a treat. He never seems to be full. He's typically pretty friendly, but watch out if you wake him up, as he gets extremely grumpy. He wont hesitate to throw mud on your shoes. Or shorts. Or, well, all of you, if you wake him up. He takes well to strangers, especially if they feed him, but he isn't able to be enticed away for very long.
