Who: Ruby, Yuri, and Jr.
What: Catch that Chocobo!
Where: Near the old movie theater
When: Today!



Is what Ruby was thinking as he waited for his two partners to show up close to the old theater. After all, it was just one bird. How bad could it be?

The chocobo swerves into the park and puts on more speed.

"I don't want you to shoot 'cause once we get close enough I'm bringing out my Pokemon!" Still running and launches himself over a fence into the park with ease.

"Crap, we're going to lose it if we're not careful! How can this thing run so fast?"

"Your what? Look, I'm tired of chasing this stupid thing! If I could just aim-"

Jr. also launches himself over the fence with surprising agility, then beings shooting wildly in the direction of the chocobo.

A sharp wark sounds from the darkness.

Then, a clatter.

Then, silence.

In the place the sound was heard from, there lies only a broken feather and a few drops of blood.

Also, a nearby shop door appears to have been kicked clean off its hinges. That is probably significant.

Ruby reached down to pick up the feather. "...I think you manage to hit it."

He looked around before noticing the open door, and decided to bring out Nana (http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/3/38/Nana.png) before going in. "Nana! Be on guard."

"Good." He seems suddenly unsettled by the blood and the feather, though; having second thoughts about that chicken dinner, Jr.?

Those doubts didn't last long, though, because he was now distracted by the thing Ruby had made appear. "Whoa, what is that and where did it come from?!"

There's a crashing noise or ten from inside the shop.

"I'll explain later. For now, she can help us with the stupid bird."

Ruby slowly made his way into the shop, Nana right next to him. "Nana, move in and use Scary Face when you see the yellow bird."

Nana yipped in agreement before moving in.

"Hey, if she can help, I'm all for it." Jr. followed right behind them, guns still at the ready. "Just watch out."

It appears to be some sort of gardening store, going by the decorative statues of varying sizes, stone lanterns, and miscellaneous fountains. A shelf bearing plaster gnomes has shattered on the floor.

It's pretty dark, lit only by the light of novelty firefly-themed outdoor lamps.

"So it wants to play it this way, huh. Let's even the odds a bit. PoPo!" Ruby pulled out another Pokeball and tossed it so that another Pokemon (http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/8/88/Popo.png) appears. "Use sunny day!"

Almost as a side he warned Jr. before light filled the area, "You might want to cover your eyes for a second."

Jr. was too busy inspecting the new creature to react fast enough. "Huh? Why's thaAAAAAARGH!"

Too late, he throws his arms up to shield his eyes. Looks like finding the bird is up to Ruby, at least for the moment.

One of the statues springs up, shrieking at the sudden brightness.

"Nana, takedown! PoPo, keep that light going!"

Nothing was going to stop Ruby now, he was in his element. No one and nothing messes with his hat and gets away with it. He grabbed a nearby hose to use as a rope, waiting for the opportunity to use it on the stupid bird.
