I hope it wasn't too long. I just had some extra time and it kept going lol. I also wanted to write a decent battle but it was getting too long xD
"Oh shoot, Dan, you idiot," Indy mumbled under his breath worriedly. Still, there was no need to run to Daniel's aid or anything of the sort, because Dan's pokemon seemed to be taking care of it. Well shoot he wanted to find another White Herb somehow. One wasn't enough. "Mimzy, got any ideas?" Indigo asked, kneeling down to stroke her under her chin. Mimzy let out a light cry, hopping in some direction. They weren't venturing too far.

But it was there that Indigo saw an interesting pokemon. With glittering, iridescent, deep indigo butterfly wings, and inquisitive, pixelated looking eyes, it reminded him of the Butterfree he had occasionally admired in Kanto, but it was different.

Leaving a trail of shimmering sparkles behind it as it flew, Indigo couldn't help but feel compelled to follow it. He whipped out his pokedex hurriedly.

Vivillion, the Scale Pokemon, and the evolved for of Spewpa. Vivillon are skillfully able to find a source of water. It has been said that you'll find a spring if you follow a Vivillon. The patterns on this Pokémon's wings depend on the climate and topography of its habitat. It scatters colorful scales. The pokedex identified the Vivillion as male.

Seriously? It evolves from Spewpa!? And spewpa evolves from that ugly Scatterbug... I wouldn't have even know...and I thought the only cool Bug types were Butterfree.. He wanted to catch one so bad! His mind flashed to Sydney briefly. He'd have to contact him somehow after this...

"Guys, how do we feel about getting a new member of our team?" Hero jumped up in the air, Hawka fluffed her feathers and seemed indifferent, while Mimzy played with her ears shyly. Was that ramping up to a yes? "Come on, just think of it, you'll be able to fly in the air," Indigo emphasized. Hawka and Mimzy perked up considerably at the words, looking at each other and communicating with chitters and cheeps. Finally, they nodded. Yes, this would be awesome. "Let's go ask him if he wants to battle," and they caught up to Vivillion who was simply riding on the warm drifts of air. He paused to drink nectar from a cluster of flowers.

Hawka jumped forth, squawking and screeching something fierce. The Vivillion seemed to roll his eyes, unimpressed at the rookie pokemon before him. But there was a playful gleam in those large, mischevious eyes. Why not humor them? The Vivillion thought. With a nod, it accepted their challenge. Indigo smirked. This would be easy. He had the advantage with Hawka. Nothing to worry about--

And as it turned out, the Vivillion was cocky for a reason. Hawka couldn't even touch the large butterfly because it kept sending her to sleep with some Sleep Powder. String Shot slowed her down and tripped her up too many times. With a well placed gust, the Vivillion whirled Hawka away. It seemed to never miss!

Next was Mimzy, who could bounce high enough to reach the Vivillion, but even when she did manage to, the Vivillion simply protected himself. She was taken down by a Sleep Powder, being combined with String Shot and Gust. Hero fared no better, given his lack of movepool and mobility. A single gust blew every Tackle he attempted, while damaging him. Once the Vivillion flew away, a bubbly laughter seemingly come from him. Indigo's shoulders slumped. Another loss he thought. He returned to Dan with a defeated expression on his face. "Hey, how'd it go with the Pidgeotto?"

Seems about right! I figured searching was worth less than battling so it makes sense~ I'll edit my hider then.
@Balthazar007you mentioned that searching can also tack on experience to gain levels but I wasn't sure how much? then i threw some battling in there. so please let me know!
As they were walking, a flurry of feathers and cries alerted Indigo and Dan to the presence of some flying type pokemon, namely Pidgey and Pidgeotto. Just like Kanto... Indigo thought with a smile on his face. They appeared to be flying about in low, lazy circles, completely ignoring the trainers and focusing their sharp eyes on the ground.

Are they looking for something? He thought. There was a white leaf in one of the Pidgey's beaks; soon enough, another Pidgey grabbed the item from somewhere in the grass and crowed with delight. It looked like a treat indeed. He paused, thinking. If it was nutritious for them and they foraged for it so much, maybe it was worth looking for? He thought back to the Kee berries he'd found in Breezy Forest. Those had just been berries but they had been rare and useful to boot.

"Hey, let's look around," Indigo suggested. "Those Pidgey look like they're trying to find something."

So Indigo released Hero, Hawka, and Mimzy. Four heads were better than one, after all. "You guys see what those Pidgeys are looking for?" Indigo asked, and the pokemon nodded, especially Mimzy, who had been born and raised in this area after all. "Let's find some! Mimzy, you lead the way on this. I bet you might know where to look better than any of us." Mimzy slyly poked her tongue out at Hawka, who retorted back with a furious little peep, and kicked up dirt. The competition was brewing and Hawka was certainly going to serve it hot. However, their search was not without challenge. The herbs were not only difficult to find but the flying types caught on quite quickly. During their search, The Pidgey tried to attack and intimidate them. It was certainly tough, but Indigo's pokemon managed to keep the birds at bay.

After about an hour and a half of searching and battling, collectively they found...

@Balthazar007yay!! How exciting! Will post soon!
Hey yeah guys she asked me too! Honestly a third person sounds like a great idea. Still keeps it small but with some more variety and more of ic interaction. Plus someone else to control npcs as well! I'm all for it, and I def don't think we'd have to worry about her controlling our characters bc she said she's rp'd before so yeah c: would be nice to have a supporting char!
"Sure," Indigo replied, handing Joan his pokedex. After the sync was complete, he remembered Sydney. Sheesh, he'd forgotten about him completely! Sure, after training yesterday he'd been tired and though to ask at some point, but he just hadn't gotten around to it.

I'll have to ask Dan... The same feeling he had experienced with rhe strange famous boy from just a day ago resurfaced. And he had that feeling with Joan too. The unsettling feeling that something was unfinished, that if he never saw Joan or Sydney again, then that would have meant his encounters with them would have been summarized by their single fleeting battles.

He... Didn't want that.

But at the same time, it was easier to just accept defeat forever. Why bother after all, when all his experience was telling him that he could never win? Perhaps... Perhaps training with Dan would help! He was sure he wouldn't feel nervous around his friend as he did with other opponents. Right, he'd ask Dan later, perhaps for a practice battle or something. Maybe he could glean some tips or something.

In the time he had spent musing and daydreaming in his own world, he and Dan had packed their bags and were ready to move on.

"Hey Joan. You heading out?" Indy asked.

"Hm?" Joan looked at Indy curiously. "No, I'll be staying here a few more days before I go to Muzin."

"Well, we gotta get going... One thing I gotta mention though."

"Yes?"

"Out of all the people I met, I think you're like one of the most..."

"Ooh, let me guess! Brilliant? Driven? Talented?"

"... Annoying," Indy finished dryly. "Try to tone it down a notch." Upon seeing her try to get out a comeback, he shrugged innocently. "Hey, don't take it personally. You gave me advice so I thought I'd return the favor." He grinned.

"Oh shut up! I beat you in a battle!" Joan protested.

"Yeah, well, so did a kid who looked like 13 so there's not much to be proud of," Indy giggled. Mentioning his loss stung, but talking about it made it sting a little less. Throwing some humor into the mix eased the unpleasantness of the memory even more. He waved. "See ya."

And they continued on.
Hey guys i cant post tonight im sorry! Ill post tomorrow. I apologize again!

Edit: managed to get something out! I just want indigo to catch one more Pokemon and then we can time skip the rest of the way!
