“Geez, this better be worth it,” Were the words of an annoyed and frustrated woman who had been forced into some local competition being held in some random city that she didn’t remember the name of. Okay, forced was not the right word for this. Coerced was probably the most relevant word for her situation now actually. While this type of competition was not something that Adrian would have normally participated in, it was still a competition and being in it meant that she would have an excuse not to be placed on duty for the contest in the first place. She didn’t deny that the profit and the moral boost this would lead to would be great if she won, but that was not the main reason.
A soft sigh escaped the woman’s lips. The goal of this was to catch the best bug and win the prize but the main thing was that she had to catch something worthwhile. Catching as much as you could would have been the best course of action but she was competing with other people. That meant that this little contest would have been much harder than normal.
While she thought about bringing pokemon food and setting it in a distinct location for her to observe pokemon eat until something significant came, the idea went out the window quickly. The method would be too slow compared to simply walking around in the tall grassy areas. Anything weak would simply hide and cower in fear. Anything strong would walk up and challenge her. Easy enough to handle. Shrugging off the stress as she rolled her head around on her neck, Adrian continued to walk lazily through the grass while hoping to encounter something soon.
lily had been in town for a couple of days already so hearing about the bug catching contest had thrown her schedule off for a bit. she was supposed to be meeting with her brother in a few hours to go get dinner. they had agreed to meet up somewhere in the town that lily had already forgotten the name of. the only thing on her mind was joining the contest and having some fun. she could spare a few hours before she had to go. the worst case scenario would be that jonathan would call her and ask her where she is to which she would respond she was in the middle of the forest. cue panicked mom worrying, etc, etc... she could only imagine seeing his face when she tells him she got lost in the forest looking for bugs.
at least the forest had some nice scenery. so far she had passed a couple of grass fields and patches of flowers where she waited to see if any bugs would come by. but of course waiting around for something to show up was never her style. so after a minute or so she would move on and search somewhere else. the goal was to catch the "best" bug pokemon and win a grand prize. before they left, she had seen some people come fully geared for the competition. she wasn't expecting to win at all but at least she would have some fun in the mean time.
but where did she even look for them? so far she had come across nothing and she had passed so many areas where they would usually be. maybe she was being too loud? looking around curiously, lily ducked into some tall grass with only her head peeking out. her family always told her to be patient so maybe this was one of the times. it didn't make it any less boring...
bugs didn't completely populate Dahara, leaving the woman curious as to what a hoard of them would look like. solaceon provided just the opportunity with a contest. with unlimited pokeballs at her side and a deino in need of training, the woman would find herself in the grassy area of route 210 to join others in the hunt for the bug pokemon. summer festivities were always her favorite.
the second she gets there a skorupi catches her eye. alpha doesn't hesitate to call out the deino. dragon rush! the presence of the other two goes ignored as the blind pokemon attempts to fry the scorpion pokemon, a pokeball soon flying out after.

Many bug poison are known to be poison types, so when the oppurtunity came to catch them for a small fee, Cass took it. She'd stayed in the background of their group, not willing to socialize but searching for pokemon nonetheless. It'd been mostly uninteresting thus far, at least until a Skorupi had popped up.
Her eyes lock on what was known as a poison pokemon, and she sees another woman start attacking it. She's quick to leap into action after that, hands scabbing to take hold of her Ariados' pokeball and withdrawing it with ease.
"Priam!"
She walks past the two other girls in the background. Her Ariados makes itself known, and with a lavender colored glow to its eyes, the pokemon would attack with an effective PSYCHIC.
Cass wastes no time, and she watches as both pokeballs make an arc towards the Skorupi. It's hard to tell which one will make it there first, but if she has to fight for it she won't hesitate to fight tooth and nail for such a valuable pokemon.

we burn in fire. we burn in blood. we burn in dreams.
While wandering in the tall grass, Adrian ended up looking on with a bored expression on her face. Let's face it, this type of activity was not the sort of thing she was interested in doing. She could train, she could fight, she could jump head first into danger, but bug catching? Really? In the near distance she noticed two other women competing for the same pokemon and from the looks of it, the woman winced. That pokemon likely wasn't coming out of those attacks without injury... but that wasn't her problem as of this moment.
As the next blade of tall grass parted, hey emerald eyes focused on the form of horned pokemon. It was no ordinary horned pokemon at that and the sight of it caught the ranger's attention. "Oh?" She had happened to say wordlessly into the air. Normally she would not have been interested in catching this pokemon but... hey gotta do what you gotta do. Throwing out one of her pokeballs, Absol appeared gracefully between herself and the Pinsir. "We're catching this one. Use Psycho Cut to weaken it," Adrian ordered to the dark type pokemon's command. The Absol was swift in executing the psychic type move on the oddly colored bug and the ranger followed up with one of the balls given to her for the event. Throwing at the insect she was hoping to catch it without much trouble.
where did all of these people come from? one minute she was sitting in the tall grass and the next minute there were three other people. two of them seemed to be going after the same skorupi that appeared and she only watched as they threw their pokeballs at the same time. skorupi was cute but one of the girls seemed to really want it. "maybe i should move somewhere else..." she whispered before standing up and moving away from the area. she didn't want to get into a fight with other people over this.
lily only moved a few feet away when she spotted an oddly colored object moving nearby. her eyes narrowed in confusion as a pinsir stepped out, its purple body standing out from all the green. "yoooooooo...." quietly taking out her pokeball, she called forth pancake. "sneak up on it and use rollout--ohhhh shit." it was at that moment she spotted another trainer starting to attack the same pinsir with an absol-- andddddd it was adrian. "hold on pancake maybe we shoul- anddddd you're gone." the phanpy was already charging forward, rolling into a tight ball as it went to attack the bug pokemon with rollout.
she almost felt like crying. she didn't want to take the catch but she also didn't want to lose the pokemon. it was purple. maybe the other wouldn't notice that she was there and she could pretend she didn't see her either. digging quickly into her bag, she threw the pokeball as well and waited to see what would happen.

i thought you said you didn't feel pain
[attr="class","landfill-scroll"]Now Augustus wasn't one to go out and catch bugs for fun, but once he figured out that he could just catch and sell them for money, he was all for catching the creepy crawlers. He walked around with his baby Larvitar looking at a book filled with Bug types, he wasn't sure if he'd keep any he found, but he knew he'd sell them if they were extremely rare, definitely not to that bug guru guy though, he would probably try to swindle the Galactic. He looked around seeing a pair of horns sticking out of a bush and smiled. "Oh shit, that's uh, that's. . . A Pinsir?"
He looked towards his Larvitar placing the baby on the ground and shoved it forwards. "Go get it my boy! Use Stone Edge!" The Galactic commanded as his Larvitar chucked a few tiny rocks into the bush only angering the creature, making it charge out of the bush towards the Ground type. Augustus would would quickly pick up his baby Larvitar and begin running away from the Pinsir. "HOOOOLY SHIT!" He shouted as he ran backwards having his Larvitar kite the Pokemon with Stone Edges.
Knowing he could not beat the creature he would pull out a Pokeball and frantically throw it at the creature hoping it'd be sucked up and captured.
we burn in fire. we burn in blood. we burn in dreams.
"You've got to be fucking kidding me," Adrian grumbled as she watched the scene unfold in front of her. While her Absol had no trouble hitting the Pinsir, her pokeball did. Now this was not due to her throwing abilities whatsoever. This wasn't pokemon go or anything like that. Rather it was due to a phanpy that had randomly got in the way and her pokeball deflected off its body much to the ranger's annoyance. It meant that the pokemon belonged to someone else and while that was all good that also meant that she had competition for the bug type. Sucking her teeth, Adrian watched two other pokeballs continue to collide in mid air before reaching the Pinsir. It was an interesting sight.
"Look like no one is having good luck with catching today," she said flatly with a shrug. Her partner in this did not looked too pleased at this either. In fact he went out of his way to go on the defense for other pokeballs so that he might body block the same way the Phanpy did. Taking out another one of those event pokeballs the woman threw the pokeball again at the Pinsir hoping to catch it this time.
it was a clusterfuck of a mess with pokemon and pokeballs flying all over the place. pancake had somehow managed to intercept adrian's pokeball while hers was intercepted by someone else's. what the hell was going on? she raised an eyebrow at the craziness going on in this one area of the park. was this how it usually was with bug contest? "come back! let's go somewhere else..." adrian was attempting to capture the pinsir again and there was no point in throwing another one.
not staying to see what would happen, she moved to another area to see if there was anything else nearby. the familiar rustling of the bushes alerted her to look over to see what was coming. lily stared as a karrablast came out of the grass, walking down the path in front of her. it had the face only a mother could love... "use rollout on it." she didn't want to show up empty-handed and the karrablast was cute...sort of. the phanpy rolled its way down the path to the karrablast as lily threw a pokeball after it.
note: attempting to catch karrablast for sacrificing

[attr="class","landfill-scroll"]Augustus opened his eyes only to see a few Pokeballs all over the place and a very confused Pinsir. He took this chance to hide away from the large bug type, and would come across something entirely different, a Metapod. "The fuck is this shit." Augustus muttered as he looked at his Larvitar, he checked his bug book. "Not rare, but uh it'll still make us some cash." Augutus muttered as he reached for a Pokeball.
He couldn't help, but feel a bit sad for the Pokemon. All he was gonna do was catch it and give it away to some creepy old bug guru, poor green fella. Augustus pelted the creature with the Pokeball. "If only feelings were worth more than money." He muttered to himself hoping no one would interfere with him getting the Metapod.
