[Crispin Yates]

    Considering their last visit at least left them with some combat experience, Crispin decided it didn’t hurt to have another walk this direction to see what they could find. Even if it just ended up being another bumbling ‘coon it would be better than sitting around the dorms all day doing not much of anything else. He walked through the plains with his hands in his pockets, the static in the air causing his already unruly hair to stand on end. As was the norm, Jove was fast asleep in his hair. Even if it was an uneventful day, Crispin enjoyed these walks. Maybe next time he’d even catch Tori during one of the eight hours she was awake and have her walk along with them.

[Crispin Yates]

At the sound of the low growling, Crispin stopped in his tracks. Turning slowly, he blinked over at the small electric canine. He must’ve gotten too close too its territory, because it certainly looked more than a little upset with him. Still moving slowly, he cleared his throat and bobbed his head slightly. “'Ey Jo, looks loike you're up. Slow it quickly wi' a web, wud yer?” As soon as Crispin bobbed his head, the tiny Joltik in his hair squirmed and woke up. As soon as his trainer said what to do, he leapt off his head and shot an electric web towards the Electrike. It wasn’t very effective, of course, but it did the job of drawing its attention and making its movements sluggish.

Snapping angrily, it lashed out at the bug and grabbed Jove in it’s jaws. The electricity didn’t phase Jove much, and it pushed out from between the canine’s teeth. “Bug Buzz, queck, Jo!” Crispin ordered as soon as he saw his partner emerge from the wild Pokémon’s bite. Bristling his small fur, Jove let out a harsh buzzing noise causing the canine to howl in pain and lose its footing. As it shuddered it let off a feeble wave of electricity to at least attempt to paralyze the small assailant, which Jove easily shook off.

Smiling, Crispin reached into his bag and pulled out one of the Pokéballs the Academy gave him. “Yer did deadly, Jo! Wat d’yer say we catch it for nigh?” While Crispin tossed the Pokéball at the weakened Electrike, Jove danced excitedly and hopped back towards his trainer. After a couple moments the Pokéball stopped shaking, and Crispin grinned widely as he held out his hand for Jove to jump into. “Amazin’! Lets head back an' git yer rested up.” Humming happily, he crawled up Crispin’s arm and snuggled back into his hair. Bending down to grab the newly captured Pokémon’s capsule, he put it in his bag before tucking his hands into his pockets.
