Open Observation Log

When: July 25 (forward dated)
Summary: Observing the Bronzor in its natural habitat
Rating: PG
Log:


Harry has been in Hisui for a week so far and it has been mostly uneventful besides getting chased by angry wild Pokémon while doing mushroom, leek, and firewood gathering. Nevertheless, he and Lily (his Rowlet) manage to slowly grow together as a team and they are able to make some new friends along: by friends, they mean an Eevee who wasn’t afraid of Harry despite being too close while he was foraging for mushrooms at Obsidian Fieldlands and a ‘too curious for his own good’ Hisuian Growlithe he met while he was observing coastal Pokémon at Cobalt Coastlands and accidentally brought along with him back to base camp.

Then reports of a strange Pokémon called Bronzor begin to pop up that the Gingko Guild decided to assign him a mission to observe them at Coronet Highlands’ Stonetooth Row. Harry does have experience with magical creatures back at home, so he is not afraid to get as close as he could to see them, but he never expects to play Newt Scamander to the Bronzor until now. But hey, he gets to do something really important for base camp. So he, Lily, Violet the Eevee, and Godric the Hisuian Growlithe take the journey to Stonetooth Row and begin their quest of looking into the Bronzor’s behavior. Carefully taking his small team to a nearby bush in order not to scare off the mirror looking Pokémon, Harry settles down and begins to jot down anything he can see and find with them.

For every observation he can find, he carefully writes it down on his notebook with Lily taking to the tree tops and the sky to check on the Bronzor who are out of his sight and relaying what she has seen from her side. Violet is currently napping beside him, and Godric, well, he is too busy chasing his tail to amuse himself. Lily returns from her third flight scan of the Bronzor, hooting in what she is able to see.

“Ah, I see. The Bronzor have a plant on their back, I wonder what they are for in the first place,” he gladly takes note as he writes that down.

Emporio's experience in Hisui has been an interesting one, but certainly not an unpleasant one. His last two years, give or take a month, has mostly been spent in the wilderness that lies between various cities and towns in Kanto and Johto- building shelters out of wood and leaves, occasionally using his tent now that he has one, and so on, so forth.

Coming to Hisui has been a 'return to basics' of sorts, even if it's come with far more violent and territorial pokemon.

The Stonetooth Rows, at any rate, are exactly the kind of place that tends to attract Emporio, as morbid as perhaps it could sound. The 'stonetooths' (stone teeth?) along the descending path look all too much like gravestones when he inspects them, and suffice to say he was far from surprised when, upon tucking into his hidden shelter among the rocks and bushes the evening before, he was faced with a swarm of ghosts. Including an Alpha, so he rather wisely stayed inside as long as possible.

...

Of course, now, 'as long as possible' has brought him well into the day, and what pokemon would typically get themselves settled in the area are...well on their way to doing that.

There's. A lot of bronzor out there. ...He's not really sure if he wants to draw their attention.

...

This is bad.

(If Harry doesn't spot a head of blond dressed in violet, then hopefully Lily will- not that he's in trouble Yet, but he's gonna be if too many of those fighty little mirrors spot him.)

[Radley has steadfastly avoided this area. He's afraid of electric Pokemon and he was told there's also a strong electromagnetic field here. But he's also a Papa Wolf and was a little worried to hear that Harry had been sent up on a mission alone with his team. So, despite rather violently shaking in fear, he's coming up the mountain very quietly in search of Harry to check on him.

Really, there's probably no need to worry. Harry handled magical creatures back home, right? They'd talked about that. This probably wouldn't be much different. But Radley is hurting more and more the longer they're stuck here, and the mysterious disappearance of Levi has been a knife through his heart. So he's coming anyway. He'll go back down if he's really not needed.

Finally Lily spots the team and points, her ears twitching. Radley pets her and goes over. He speaks in a whisper, definitely not wanting to ruin the mission or startle the Bronzor.]

Hi. Anything interesting happening?

"A plant? Now that's interesting." Hey where did this guy come from and how did he get into that crouched position behind Harry without making a sound?

At least he's keeping his voice down, but it doesn't seem impossible that he is trying to startle Harry.
