This place made Steely wrinkle her nose. It was noxious as far as her eyes could see... the grass below their feet was crinkled and purple, poisoned. Not conducive to growing Healthy Crops, no.

"Alright, these go away for a while," she looked to her trees, picking another Watmel berry off of the branches of the tree before withdrawing them into their capsules. That taken care of, she looked at Rocky and Chaos... hm. Not good for what she was going to try and do here.

"Alright, you guys are resting for a while. I'm looking for a Croagunk, so I'll get Hurricane and Zelda to help me,"

Chaos gave her thumb-claws up, and they both disappeared in a flash of light, replaced by the smaller forms of an Espeon and Lucario.

"Ready guys? Use your awesome mind powers and whatnot to find us a Croagunk!" she pointed off into the yucky poisoned area Dramatically, a huge grin on her face.

...

[She do this a lot?] Zelda asked privately over at Hurricane, who only shrugged in return as they started walking.

[Yeah. You'll get used to it,]

So they tromped along the nasty poisoned grass for a bit, and eventually it all died out and just turned into nasty poisoned ground with bits of strange muck everywhere and a thick, yucky smog that filled the air and obscured vision.

Somewhere amongst all this smog and uck, an odd slapping, slushy noise could be heard if one really strained their ears. Whatever could that noise be, I wonder.

Welcome to the poisoned plains 1. :D

The place just got more and more disgusting, but Steely had to travel through it for what she wanted... and she did want to be at Yo'rek at some point, so yeah. Just had to do it. Made her wish that she had a clothespin or something.

...sure, she had her gas mask in her backpack, but hey... not very smart. And she hadn't had it very long, so she forgot about it.

Her two brainy Pokemon didn't detect a Croagunk at all, but as they walked, there was an odd noise ahead. Sounded kinda watery. Zelda and Hurricane perked up a little bit too, and they picked up the pace. Had to go find whatever it was making that noise, yes.

Using that gas mask prolly woulda been a good idea, yeah. Help stave off that lung cancer she's gonna be getting in thirty years or something like that.

So they followed the icky splashing sound through the nasty fog and eventually found...

A Croagunk! The little froggy thing was sitting on the ground playing with some of the odd dangerous - looking muck lying everywhere, though it obviously didn't bother him too much. The blue frog played with the muck in his paws, mounding it and patting it up into a little muck castle or something like that. Go figure.

He didn't seem to have noticed Steely and co. yet, so that was a good thing, at least?

Ding ding ding.

So Steely got that crack omg yay grin on her face when she saw the little froggy... playing in the poisoned muck stuff. Like, ew? Princess wrinkled her snout and stayed well back, even as Hurricane and Steely walked over to the little froggy. Now for the Steely Way.

"Hey there," she sat down on a poisoned rock nearby, grinning at the froggy. She wanted to capture it, but not for herself, so she... wasn't sure how to go about convincing it, if she was even going to be able to at all. Best to just be nice and flow with it.

"So, uh," she looked over at Hurricane, and Zelda sitting off well away. She didn't like it here at all, no. "...I'm just gonna cut to the chase. You wanna get stronger? 'cause I know some people who would love to meet you and help you get stronger," she said simply. And, hey, if the little guy liked the idea, then great. If not, well... she tried? It was the truth, again, and hopefully it would work this time as well as it worked last time.

And if it came down to it... there was still the beat it up method, which she really didn't want to do. But oh well. CroagunkGET.

...not quite sure Steely wants to sit there, 'cuz something in the seat of her pants is melting. Oops, oh well. Beware of Rock.

"Gunk?" The little frogthing looked up when Things suddenly emerged out of the mist, both his paws curling around heaps of muck should he need to defend himself. His face still had that bland, unamused look on it that all Croagunks did, the look that said that the lights are on but nobody's home up there.

A moment of epic pondering, though that could just be guessed at from the blank look adorning the froggy's face. "Gunk," he said finally, shrugging his shoulders and juggling one pawful of muck up and down. What did he need to get stronger for, really? He was already pretty jacked or whatever as it was. "Gunk gunk," and he chucked the evil nasty muck in Steely's direction, not really taking the time to aim before going back to building his slime castle or whatever. Things can go away nao plz.

Yeah, she'll notice her pants melting in due time. First she has a flying slimeball to deal with.

Luckily, it was deftly flicked away by a quick telekinetic blast, caused from Hurricane flicking his paw at it. It went kersplat Over There somewhere, and he smirked in that self-confidant way that he tended to do.

"Alright fine then. Can't say I didn't try," she looked back over her shoulder at Hurricane and nodded once. He knew what to do, and hopefully do it well enough where he didn't faint the thing in one shot. He just flicked a little bit of psychic energy, putting enough power into it to where it would severely hurt the little frog but not faint it. No, no, they needed this thing.

Speaking of needing it, Steely grabbed an Ultra Ball out of her pocket and readied it, tossing it nonchalantly once Hurricane was done.

So the Croagunk had merrily gone back to ignoring Steely and building his mudmuck castle thing, when suddenly...

His mind got assraped by psychic energy. :< Giving a strangled croak, the Croagunk twitched and fell over backwards as he got kersmacked by the Ultra Ball and sucked in.

Long story and flowery prose short, thou has a :croagunk :ml Lvl 30 with 45/90 HP and 15 :anger .

Moving on now, y/n?

Woo, success! As if we expected anything less.

BUT YES. Moving on now. Since they had no reason to stick around in this crappy place anymore, they decided to haul ass to the city nearby and... well. Just go through and then off to the Ocean.

And then, well... you'll just have to see, now won't you?

As if going anywhere was an easy process. There were going to be MONSTERS. And BAD THINGS. And THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT.

I kid, I kid. Seriously, if a Pokémon was stupid enough to go near a trainer who was just making the tell-tale sounds of battle, they deserved to have the crap beaten out of them. Strange but true, seriously. Most Pokémon in the Opaddeka Region were not silly enough to risk their lives like that!

And so, onwards did the Steely walk, across the poisonous plains - be careful walking that you don't step into toxic sludge, yes - and onwards to the cracked and dried riverbed in the distance that was something of a distance measure to the industrial city of Y'orek. How the heck people survived out here, I do not know, but that is something for another tale and thusly not to be discussed here.

I DON'T LIKE MONSTERS.

And neither does Steely, which is why they're loljogging across the poisoned, dried riverbed, the two Psychic knowing Pokemon keeping an eye out for anything and hoping that their presence was enough to ward off any attacks by angry poison types or whatever.

'cause, you know, its a freakin' Lucario and a Espeon. Kinda scary for a poison type, yessir.

Oh, woe is Steely. From dry terrain to wet terrain! Except this is the kind of wet that you do not want to step in, no siree bob.

You see, poison is bad. As if you haven't worked that out already. Except this lagoon was actually full of stuff, but this stuff happened to be corrosive stuff that'd melt you in a few seconds. See, you could test that by kicking a rock in, and it'd melt in about a second because... wooo, toxic crap.

How the hell do the people of Y'orek even bloody survive out here? Whoever designed this needs a reality check. D:

Either way, yeah. There's the lagoon. Don't touch it.

"Are we there yet?"

No. :| But yer nearly there! Don't give up!

Steely wasn't... well, normally the kind to give up. She never gave up on this sort of thing, at the very least, so they continued oooon~ Keeping away from the wet muck and skirting the soggy areas so nobody got hurt.

...sure, there was a hole burnt in the back of her jeans from that rock before, but hey, she hadn't noticed it yet. Someone should point it out to her at some point. 'cause Hurricane sure won't, based on his snickering right now.
