It had taken several days to make it up here. A couple days walk from Saffron to Cerulean and then another day to reach the cape. The sun setting just as she came within view of the lighthouse. The view from the cliffs overlooking the sea took her breath away as the sun shone off the waves. This place, it reminded her of home. A castle she had grown up in, perched atop the cliffs of Kalevala and overlooking the sea. A home that was now destroyed.
The Mandalorian couldn’t help herself and she sat on the edge of one of the cliffs overlooking the water. Her helmet on as she simply enjoyed the scenery. Though it didn’t take her long to notice she was not alone here. She had heard in town this was a popular place for couples to visit. The most romantic spot in Kanto apparently. Discreetly she watched one couple walk a distance away, hand in hand. Another pair also sitting on another cliff edge. Then here she was. Alone. Bo-Katan then doing her best to ignore them and the lonely ache in her heart.
Once she had her fill of the sunset she went to the little bed and breakfast by the lighthouse. Deciding to stay the night there, she fully shed her armor and suit to get the most relaxing sleep she had gotten since arriving in this world. Not having to sleep fully clothed on someone else’s couch or on the ground.
It was that night the clouds rolled in, and Bo awoke to the patter of rain on her room’s window. Just a glance outside told her it was going to be a wet day. Dressing in the outfit she had found in her bag, Bo went down to have breakfast. The kindly old man running the place confirming her suspicions with the weather forecast. Again it reminded her of home as she looked out at the drizzling grey skies that would turn to a downpour by the time she finished eating. Looked like this would be a day to be inside and stay for another night.
The rain didn’t let up until that evening. The fog rolling in as night fell. Having been couped up all day she didn’t let that deter her. The shining beacon of the lighthouse cutting through the dense haze and providing enough light to see by as she again walked along the cliffs. The sound of waves crashing against the rocks below soothing her while her Rowlet perched on her shoulder.
However, the peace and silence was broken as a soft almost melodious sound was carried on the wind. Looking over the hazy waters, she had a hard time seeing where it was coming from. That is until the light from the lighthouse passed by, partially illuminating a mysterious shape out on the water.
“What is that?”
Said more to herself as there was no one around. All the couples likely deterred by the day’s weather. Only the Rowlet with her replied with its own uncertain trill. She glanced at the bird then looked back out at the water as the sound reached her ears again.
“Go see what it is, Senaar.”
The Rowlet blinked and made a questioning sound. You want her to go out there?
“You heard me. Go on.”
Another series of uncertain trills came from her as if to say; okay if you say so. She then flew from Bo’s shoulder and out into the mist. A few moments passed, Bo straining to see through the dense fog. Eventually there was a rumbling growl, and Senaar shrieked as she came flying back in a panicked frenzy. A giant beast following close behind her. Even Bo-Katan had to take a few steps back, astonished, as a towering dragon landed mere feet from her.
“A Pokémon?!”
She hadn’t seen any quite like this one, and she didn’t particularly like the look it was giving her either. The dragon seemingly sizing her up as well as the tiny Rowlet who hovered in front of her. But this creature had to be wild, and she and her Pokémon fought countless wild Pokémon during the trek here. This wouldn’t be any different right?
“Well, go on, attack it with Leafage.”
Senaar turned her head completely around to stare at Bo with wide eyes. The Mandalorian raising her brows expectantly back at the bird. Turning her head back around, the Rowlet obeyed and zipped through the air, ready to attack! Until the dragon rushed at her, slamming the full force of its body into poor Senaar before she even had a chance. With a shriek she was sent sailing into a rock with a splat. The bird instantly knocked out.
Bo-Katan could only stare in disbelief as she recalled her starter into her ball. The dragon snorting as if mocking her. Is that all you’ve got? Prompting Bo to look back at the beast with grim determination. So that’s how he wanted to play it? Fine. Challenge accepted.
Reaching into her bag she pulled out another ball, and a Meowth appeared shortly after. Again Bo urged her Pokemon to attack. Tooka was more than happy to comply, not at all afraid of this behemoth of an opponent! Except it ended the same way. The dragon’s tail slamming into the cat and knocking it several feet away where it too was instantly knocked out. Next came out her Smoliv. It too was instantly defeated.
Okay. This wild pokemon was clearly much stronger than anything else she had yet come across. Bo-Katan had only one Pokémon left, not including the pair of eggs sitting in her room. Taking her last unoccupied ball, she then released her Pawniard. The little steel type appearing before her, only to have the dragon leer down at him with a snarl. Kal stood there, practically frozen, with a giant sweatdrop appearing on the side of his head.
Nope. Nope nope nope.
In a flash of movement the Pawniard quickly dashed behind Bo, hiding behind her legs. Sorry mom, this is just too much for him! Bo could only sigh and look up as the dragon drew closer, looming over the Mandalorian as it was easily twice her height. What was she going to do? She could run but… she might have one more trick up her sleeve. Remembering the ball that Din had given her that supposedly was for catching powerful Pokémon. It was worth a shot.
Quickly she reached into her bag and pulled out the purple master ball. With a swing of her arm she threw it at the dragon. The giant beast blinking in surprise as it bounced off his chest then sucked him inside.
HA! Puny human! You can not contain him!
Wiggle wiggle wiggle.
Wait.
Wiggle wiggle.
…
Wiggle. CLICK!
NOOOOOO!
Even Bo-Katan was stunned as the ball signaled capture. Kal just stared from behind her legs. Stars in his eyes as he looked up at Bo. His mom is so cool! The Pawniard following as she carefully went over to the ball and picked it up.
