[Katastrofea Park]

"It's been awhile," Kata murmured dreamily, tossing an academy Pokeball up and down with fluid, idle movements, "since I last caught a Pokemon. Right, Techy?" The Porygon2 floating by her side whirred, a mechanical purr emanating from the sentient machine's structure. >>Yes. Approximately 96 days, 14 hours, and 36 minutes ago,<< Techno Angel informed the young librarian, synthesized, androgynous voice filtering out from the vague direction of their closed, flat beak. "Ah, geez. That long ago? Seems like it's only been a week since I last got Firefly," she sighed nostalgically, a volcanic breeze brushing past her cyan hair. Then again, it seemed as if she had been inhabiting this academy's library for an eternity. The suffocating grasp of her parents was a distance nightmare now. Now she had her books, and Pokemon, and students. She was content. >>You're getting old, Katastrophe,<< they teased, something like amusement fluttering through their otherwise devoid optics. Rolling her eyes, she reached over and attempted to flick the virtual Pokemon, but they floated away just in time. When had they developed a sense of humor? Sometime during her middle school days, she recalled. How surprised she had been when her once emotionless tutor first cracked a joke. >>I don't need a mood scan to know you're getting nostalgic. What brought this on?<< Techy curiously inquired. While asking, they quickly built a Magic Coat, and a wondrous wall of light began shrouding the duo. Hopefully this would attract the attention of a wild Pokemon or two. Smiling and closing her eyes, Kata said, "Oh, nothing, really. Just thinking about the good ol' days." ooc) @mod, no preference

It was awfully hot up here, what with this place being an active volcano and all. Wiping the perspiration beading on her forehead off, she smiled lightly at the sight of the Magic Coat dancing through the air. "I remember this trick. We used this to meet Bonny, I think." And the Fletchling had swooped down firing an Ember directly at her. Hopefully the same wouldn't happen this time. Techy seemed ready to reply when a small ping emanated from their body. >>Male Rhyhorn twenty feet ahead, 23.5674 degrees north. Suitable?<< They turned questioningly to the librarian as she pondered this before she nodded. She never turned down the opportunity to meet any Pokemon, be they Trubbish or Milotic. It just wasn't in her nature. Soon enough, the spikes Pokemon came trundling over to meet them, curiously gazing at the active Magic Coat. He didn't seem hostile, just apprehensive, so Kata waved at the newcomer. "Heyo. I'm Katastrofea, Kata for short. You are?" Blinking in mild surprise, he glanced towards the virtual Pokemon, who nodded towards him in an encouraging manner. Doubtfully, he spoke what was presumably his name, which she comprehended as a low grunt. >>His name's Bolt. From his Lightning Rod ability,<< Techy helpfully translated. "Oh, nice name. I like it. It sounds tough, y'know?" The Rhyhorn's maw spread in what appeared to be a grin as he dipped his head in acknowledgement. Seeing that he was in a friendlier mood, Kata knelt down so that her navy blue skirt brushed the rocky ground and tentatively extended a hand towards the wild Pokemon. After a moment's consideration, Bolt pushed his head against her palm, and she gently ran her slender fingers down the smooth plates shielding his body. "I'm a librarian at Gray Haven Academy. You know it, right?" she softly inquired, pulling her hand back. Of course he would; he lived right next to the Lava Dorm. As expected, he nodded. "Yeah. If you're by yourself, and you want to... then you can come with me. Back to the library." She giggled nervously, brushed a lock of cyan hair behind her ear. "Not that I live in the library, I mean. You know, at my house. But the library's a nice place to be. How about it?" The Rhyhorn seemed somewhat tempted, but he still eyed her with wariness. Ah, the cautious type. "Only if you want to, I mean. I know I'm just a stranger, but if you don't like that kind of lifestyle, you can always return here. But it's nice. The library lifestyle, I mean. And I'm sure we could be great friends!" She tilted her head, prayed silently for a sign of approval. Her prayer was answered. >>He says that he'll try it out, but if it doesn't suit him, then he'll leave,<< Techy translated as he uttered several guttural sounds she couldn't understand by herself. Smiling widely, Kata held out the academy Pokeball she was holding in her hand, tapping it lightly against the Rhyhorn's head. "Thank you, Bolt." ooc) caught the rhyhorn. thread end!
