Catching Victory (A Pokemon Quest)

Dropping off Leviathen
You quickly add the number to your contacts list in your pokegear.

You turn the knob on the front door. Unsurprisingly, it's unlocked so you enter. The main room of the house is a large room with a green and brown tiled floor. In the middle of the room is a large green rug, on which sits a table and four blue chairs. In each of the four corners of the room sits a potted plant. In the back right of the room, there is a bookcase with it's contents neatly sorted. A PC similar to the ones used in Pokemon Centers is against the right wall.

Sitting behind the counter, you see an elderly man. The top of his head is completely devoid of hair but he has some white hair on it, along with a thin white beard. He greets you with a warm smile.

"Evening! Welcome to the Pokemon Day Care. M' name's Daniel." The man greets you.

"I'm Bard. It's good to meet you." You say."How are you doing?" You ask.

"Having a great day" the man says. "Anyway, we can raise your pokemon for you if ya' want. And from the looks of it, ya' have quite a few pokemon already" Daniel says.

"I may need you to raise some of my pokemon." You say. "I saw your sign outside. What exactly is this PC Transfer Service?"

"Oh that! That was Ossie's idea! You see, trainers used to have to come all the way back here when they wanted to take care of their pokemon again. But with the new service, we can transfer your pokemon straight to your PC, so you can pick them up from any Pokemon Center."

"That sounds convenient." You say. "So I can drop off pokemon using the PC too, right?"

Daniel suddenly gets a sheepish look. "We... we haven't been able to get that part working."

"Still, you can still pick up your pokemon from anywhere you can access Th' Pokemon Storage System." He reassures you.

"So, are you interested lettn' us take care of one of your pokemon?" David asks.

"Sure thing. I just need to get her from the PC" You say.

Withdrawing Leviathan takes a few seconds more than it really should. Mainly because since you can only carry six pokemon at a time so you need to deposit another pokemon, in this case, Adamantine since she's already in her ball, so you can get Leviathan out. You're slightly annoyed but it isn't that bad so you don't complain.

You hand the pokeball to David.

"I'm just dropping her off for a little while." You say.

"You know, we can raise up to two pokemon per trainer" David suggests. "If you want, we could raise another one"

"No, but thanks for the offer" You say.

"Fair enough" David nods, inspecting the pokeball. "But before you go, if you could fill out this portion of the binder." He points to an open binder on the table. It's filled with columns asking your name, the date, the pokemon you are leaving with them (which you note there are two slots) and your phone number. He points to the nearest empty one, the others already filled out.

You fill out the information, hoping that your chicken-scratch is legible. "And before I forget" David says while you are filling the paper out. "Every day at noon, myself, or my husband Ossie send you an update on how your pokemon is doing on your PokeGear."

You nod. "Sounds like it could be useful."

"Truly the wonders of modern technology know no limit" Daniel smiles. "I hope ya' have a good evening." He says to you.

You say your goodbyes and head out the door, though not before retrieving Adamantine from the PC.

[x] Look for pokemon on Route 303.
I don't really care which ghost pokemon we get right now. I always focus on what we have now than later
 
A Gastly Encounter
As you continue to search Route 303, night falls. Eventually, you're forced to use your flashlight just to see a few feet in front of you. Your pokemon start talking to each other while you're walking. eventually, Eva speaks up.

"Wow, you lasted all of ten minutes. Even I'm surprised by that."

"What are you talking about?" You ask.

"Usually, a trainer at least pretends to try to train a Magikarp. But you? You dropped her off as soon as you caught her. I'm almost impressed." She says.

"I'm still going to raise Leviathan!" You said. "I'm just going to leave her at the daycare for a while. It's just for a few days!"

"And then you'll either forget about it or you won't feel like training her yourself" Eva said. "Don't worry." She reassures you "I'm not holding it against you. Everyone does it. I'm just saying tha-"

"Sea! Horsea!" Neptune angrily said to Eva.

"Tox Dus Dus!" Moondust said.

"Cubone! Bone!" Joan retorted.

Things devolved from there with all of your pokemon arguing with each other. From what you can tell, it's mostly Neptune and Joan arguing with Eva and Moondust. Philsosraptor occasionally says something but it's drowned out by the yelling on either side. Adamantine, on the other hand, doesn't seem to try, preferring to let the argument unfold.

"Guys?" You say, trying to calm everyone down.

The arguments doesn't die down. If anything, it gets louder.

"Guys!" You say louder. "We're all on the same side!"

The argument doesn't slow down. At this point, you aren't sure if they're still yelling about what would happen to the Magikarp. You are about to try again when Eva's eyes start to glow.

"Eva!" You yell, afraid she's going to launch a psychic attack.

And then she fell down, asleep.

Philodoraptor cries out in surprise and flies backwards.

You look behind you and see a ball of darkness emitting a deep purple smoke with two, glowing blue orbs beside each other. As soon as you lay your eyes on them, the orbs fade to white, revealing themselves to be eyes.

"Gastly..." The ghost pokemon says in an annoyed tone before turning around and floating away. You could try to catch the Gastly, but pokemon who are looking for a trainer usually attack. And pokemon who aren't looking for a trainer tend to react... poorly to being caught.

A Wild Ghastly Appears!

[] Let it go and keep looking.
 
[ ] Let it go and keep looking.

Yeah, a disobedient, poisonous ghost might not be the best idea. We could maybe ask it if there are any adventurous Gastly around looking for battles.

Let It Go
You let the Gastly go. It's not worth it to try to catch a pokemon that doesn't want to be caught.

But before you leave, you walk towards Eva and lean down.

"Tox" Moondust says.

You gently snake Eva to wake up. Her eyes snap open soon afterwards.

"ItwaslikethatwhenIgothere!" Eva "says" as he jerks upwards. She looks around at everyone there, realizing that her dream was just that. "Wait... what happened?"

"Sea. Sea Horsea..." Neptune says.

"You feeling alright?" You ask Eva.

Eva makes a grunting sound before continuing speaking to you mentally. "I'll be alright in a little while." She says.

"Cubone. Cu cu cubone." Joan says to Eva while smiling.

Eva slowly turns towards Joan and glares at her.
