Set in the original region of Arciel, Legends Rising is a route-inspired, but not strictly route-based, Pokemon roleplay. Pick a faction, pick a class, and strike out into the wild to take on the League, master Contest coordination, research the mysteries of Pokemon and Arciel, and much, much more. Will you be a classic trainer? A criminal? A farmer? Choose your destiny on Legends Rising.
Of the assembled group, it'd be Adhara who noticed something first; there, a rustle in the grass! And from that rustling grass, came none other than a Snubbull..! As the Yamper barked in notification, Ettie would glance on over to see the pup in question; and immediately, she was sold. This snubbull might be smaller than Princess, but she had different colors that really caught the young girl's eye!
The Snubbull, meanwhile, would be looking over the assembled group, before turning her nose up a bit. A bit of a snooty fellow, wasn't she? Ettie, though, would still 'play bow' at the Snubbull with a happy little "Yip!", smiling warmly. "You wanna come with us? I'd love to grow my pack!" This playful gesture would make the Snubbull eye Ettie for a few moments, as though debating what to do...
... Before proceeding to tag at Ettie, and run off! The young girl was a little startled, at first - but upon processing that they were now playing Tag - perhaps as a test - she'd perk up, and run after the Snubbull with another happy yip!
It seemed that the Snubbull might've underestimated Ettie's speed, or overestimated her own, however... With the girl's respectable agility, it didn't take long for her to catch up to tag the Snubbull back; lightly tapping her with a pokeball! "Tag!" Catching with a Repeat Ball, as I have another Snubbull. Yamper's Ball Fetch is active, if it's applicable in garden threads.
This is my second catch - please roll my third encounter if this catch succeeds!

One, two, and a three - and like that, the Snubbull was caught! Ettie would share a joyful whoop with her pups, grinning brightly as she sent the pokeball to the PC, for the time being. She couldn't wait to see how the Snubbull got along with everyone - maybe she'd like Princess?
In any case though, she would continue onwards through the garden - watching with curiosity as she crossed bridge over a canal, and saw an Alomomola drift by in the water below, without a care in the world! As pretty as the Alomomola was though, she wasn't sure if it was up her alley, so she'd keep searching through the garden, to see what else she'd meet. Final encounter roll, please!

Ah... Looks like Borzil caught a yamper, he guessed! He'd give the ball a quizzical look as he picked it up, before glancing down to Gumdrop - gently shaking a finger at her in light chiding. "You gotta be more careful with the pokeballs, Gumdrop; they're 'spensive sometimes." It was hard to even chide her for long, though; the adorable gaze that Gumdrop gave back, as well as the gentle whine she made, proving to make Borzil quickly relent.
Sighing, he'd smile down to her, and pet her on the head. "It's okay. Can't stay mad at a cute face like that, after all. Let's keep moving in the meantime, while we figure out what we wanna do about our new buddy, alright?" Second Encounter! Ignore Honeybunch's level when rolling, please!

The Yamask, it seemed, was more than happy to come with - something that brought a smile to Makoto's face, and a cheer from Kama, as the ghost-type disappeared into the premier ball. "Hmm..." Humming a bit as they attached the ball to their belt, Makoto would tap their chin a little with a finger as they picked up Kuro, and continued walking. "This new darling is gonna need a name; though I'm not sure what sort of name quite yet..."
It didn't seem the other three were entirely sure either, though they did mull over the notion for a bit. But, then again, how would they communicate it if they did know?
Well, in any case, they had all the time in the world to mull it over, as they continued making their way through the garden... Ignore the Yamask's level when rolling, please!

Things would be quiet and calm once more, as Borzil continued trekking about the garden, admiring the plantlife that was growing here. "I wonder if we should start a garden, sometime..." He'd wonder out loud to his pokemon; smiling at the eager 'vee!' that Honeybunch gave in response. "I bet Daisy would love that, having her own personal garden to laze around in."
As they walked along, a Snubbull would pop up along the trail; something that Borzil took a bit of interest in, though...
... Almost as soon as the Snubbull spotted them, it'd seem that she'd get quite shy, and run right off..! Borzil, startled, couldn't help a soft chuckle - "I guess not every pokemon here, is looking to make friends, huh...?" Third Encounter! Ignore Honeybunch's level when rolling, please!

At the centermost point of the garden, there seemed to be a sizeable pool, from the looks of things - with a fountain at the very center of that pool. At the edges, there were pokemon and people milling about, watching the Alomomola that drifted by; and Makoto, too, would soon decide to take a seat at a nearby bench, to watch the pokemon here.
Kuro was happy to curl up on their lap, and Tachi would sit down next to them - though Kama, playful as ever, would chitter and wave to the Alomomola as he sat at the edge; dipping his feet in, and splish-splashing. One Alomomola would drift closer by, prompting Kama to perk up, and excitedly reach out with the back of his claw, to pet the fish pokemon as it drifted by...!
Makoto, endeared, couldn't help a gentle laugh; trailing off in a relaxed sigh, as they leaned back to enjoy the scenery. Third Encounter; Ignore the Yamask's level when rolling, please!

Even if Borzil hadn't had much luck with meeting the previous Snubbull, though... It seemed that he'd have a bit better luck with the next pokemon that came along. A flurry of minty-colored feathers would descend from a nearby branch, only for him to feel a pair of talons ever-so-gently settle on his head; a Murkrow..! Dial seemed a bit wary about the dark-type bird, but the crow in question seemed to mean no harm; simply settling atop Borzil's head, as it began to... Preen, at his hair?
Was the Murkrow grooming him?
Borzil would blink a bits as the Murkrow gently sifted through his hair with its beak for a little while, before moving to Honeybunch, to perch on his back and groom through his fur as well! Though Borzil wasn't entirely sure why the Murkrow was doing this - it didn't seem as though it was trying to look for any shinies to steal or whatever - he couldn't help but smile a bit at the bird's gentle and cleanly nature. "Aren't you a cutie pie," He'd hum; reaching down to gently scritch the top of the Murkrow's head.
The crow, in response, would lean into Borzil's touch - to which he'd perk a little with a warm smile. He wasn't the most dextrous guy in the world, but... He'd still attempt to be very slow and careful, as he scritched along the bird's feathers, looking for any debris or bugs he could pluck out. Fair was only fair, to return the favor, right?
Once bird and human alike were done grooming at eachother and the pokemon though, the Murkrow would soon return to perching atop Borzil's head, snuggling down. "Aheh... You seem to like me, don't you?" He'd murmur in observation, pulling out a pokeball, to offer to the Murkrow. "Would you like to come with me?" Pokeball, (plus ranger befriend bonus) go! This is my second catch, Roll my final encounter if this catches, please!
(And also ignore Honeybunch's level as usual plz)

Nearby, a small Yamask seemed to be playing by the water's edge as well - splashing its hands in the water with little chirps and trills of glee. Kama, noticing this, would come over, chittering in greeting...
... Only for the hyperactive little Yamask, to playfully splash Kama in the face..! Startled, the Sneasel would squeak and fall on his rear, to the ghost-type's giggling; though the weasel pokemon knew what had to be done. The splash fight was on.
Makoto, meanwhile, would only be watching with relative bewilderment - but also amusement - as the two pokemon began to splash each other in every way they knew how. Kuro, too, would watch with a bit of curiosity, though... He'd remain where he was - too shy to approach a new pokemon like the Yamask, and not wanting to get his fur wet.
Eventually though, the Yamask would be crowned the winner; her gratuitous use of Protect making it hard for Kama to properly splash her. Soaked to the bone, the Sneasel would come over back to Makoto as the ghost-type floated off, before flopping out on the grass to air dry off. Maybe it was time to go home, soon...?
