As Nue makes her own way into the forest, she comes across a pokeball lying on the- wait. Nue knows better than that. That's a Foongus hiding in plain sight. Kinda the opposite of herself, hiding in 'not sight'. Somehow. Despite not following rules of the world. (Somewhere a god rolls his eyes)
Question is, now what?

Nue always follows the rules. Except when she doesn't. Foongus is not quite what she is looking for at this time, so she leaves it alone. She focuses a bit more on the trees and other high places where Emolga may roost. Though bugs or birds may also frequent those same locations...well no matter! Emolga is only the ideal encounter. Other things may be nice too.

As Nue heads along, she hears ruffling above her and an angry pinecone is looking down back at her!

Oh look, a Pineco. Hm. Forretress is a good defensive Pokemon, but Ferrothorn serves the same purpose. She does her best to move away from it so as not to disturb it further.

Nue keeps moving and is distracted by a flash of yellow flipping through the trees. Could that be-

Nue's eyes are immediately drawn to the area where the yellow was glimpsed. It is worth checking out, even if it turns out to not be an Emolga. Nue enters Stealth Mode.

Nue holds shift and enters stealth mode and follows along. Whatever this flash of yellow is, it's fast and moving from tree to tree. It finally seems to land in a single tree and stop, although it's hidden inside now. Hmmm.

Nue slips around behind the tree and taps it a few times while her Ferroseed is hidden around front near the entrance. With luck, this will flush whatever is inside out and Ferroseed can distract/pin it down with its rapid-fire spikes (pin missile).

After a moment after the tap, Nue's splatted in the face with a berry! The yellow thing pops it's head out and yeah, it's indeed an Emolga, who chuckles. Clearly Nue's 'stealth' isn't as great as she thought.

Nue blinks as she wipes the berry off her face. She first tries diplomacy. She asks if it would be interested in joining her. If it agrees, then that is that. If not, she would duel it for the right.

A duel you say? The Emolga seemingly gives it an idea and tosses three berries at Nue's feet. It shows it's three berries as well. Seems it's a berry fight! Winner take all!
(You and the Emolga will 'fight' with the berries as thrown items. Win or tie and it'll willingly join!)

Nue puts Ferroseed away before picking up a berry. She takes aim and throws it at the Emolga.

Ha! Nue easily avoids the retaliatory strike. She fires back!

Well now you can only at least tie, so there ya go.
Emolga is level 9, male, and whatever nature and ability you'd like. The Emolga hits the next two, but it missed it's first shot! Clearly it needs to learn from the ninja-girl about it's aim. It skitters down the tree and sits at Nue's feet.

Nue produces a berry and offers it to the Emolga as a snack. Then, since it is now willing, she boops it with a Poke Ball. Success! Emolga has joined the party! (FF7 victory music plays)
Nue briefly checks in on Yue, and upon seeing her lying in just her undies in the sun with a Petilil atop her just silently shakes her head. She leaves a note on Yue's face to remind her not to lie there too long or she'll get a sunburn. Hopefully that note is enough, but she'll check back again a bit later anyway. For now, let's see what else this forest has to offer for partners.

After capturing the Emolga, Nue wanders more after whapping Yue with a note. She hears some digging noises, and going to investigate she sees a little grey bunny digging, seemingly looking for something. Bunnelby, level 7, Serious, Female, Pickup

Hm? Oh, a Bunnelby. Nue wonders what it's after and decides to observe it from a distance. It's kinda cute, sure, but Nue is more curious about what it's up to than capturing it right now. She only has a couple of Poke Balls left anyhow, so best be sure she wants something before going after it.

Nue watches the bunny dig for a while, but eventually it stops and hops out of the hole, sniffs the air, and runs off. Hmmm.

Deciding to allow whimsy to take her, Nue checks out the hole. Was there something in it, or did she forget about wind patterns and end up hiding upwind from the bunny when the wind shifted, allowing it to smell her?
