Log:

With the perky new song singing about the city, the summer Bug-Catching contest is back on in full force! With everything that's been going on lately, it's high time they start some for-fun things to do. So, mid-afternoon on Thursday, they gather the participants. After the participants check their other pokémon in at the front, they're all asked to line up in the front. From there, one park official reads the rules while another passes out twenty sport balls. Then once everything's settled, they're just about ready to go!

Three... Two... One... Catch!


The tagging format can be however you like, just please stick to the specific contest's sub-thread underneath.
Current Contest: July 11

[Unfamiliar with this kind of custom, he doesn't know to return the curtsy, instead offering a short nod in acknowledgment. Even her name sounded foreign to him, though... to be fair, there was no shortage of strange titles and terms when it came to Johto. He stops to offer his own name.]

Shino. [how2introductions]

There was no harm done. [The red mantis beside him looks over at the abashed Houndoom almost with a curiosity than any kind of hostility.] However, if you are searching for the pre-evolution to this one you may have better luck elsewhere. They are commonly found in more open grassland, for those who look.

[Well she appreciates the info, even if he clearly has no idea how to deal with her introduction. She's getting kind of used to that, honestly.]

Open areas, hmm? Out in the middle of the park, maybe?

[Her eyes flicker in that direction.]

[Ilya receives a hum in affirmation. Although the pokemon were free to roam the park, he's familiar enough with most species - and if not, at least their ninja-world equivalents - to know the locations they'd frequent.]

That would work. The disadvantage would be that a Scyther, or any other insect that may startle, would be able to spot you more easily.

[In other words, take care to be sneaky like a ninja!]
