SkunkyArt | cjr09 — Scout

She just kinda showed up in Nopal's apartment??? While she was sleeping????

It's Nopal's fault for leaving the window open but Scout just kinda showed up and curled up on the bed with her. Scout has zero fear or sense of personal space

Nopal was really confused but she just kinda rolled with it, she's pretty used to picking up strays every once and a while when she stays in one place for a bit. Fuzz and Tesla were also confused but also just as willing to just do whatever

Nopal made breakfast for everyone and Scout went 'oh shit this one can make food??? im staying forever'

They DID technically battle-- Fuzz stepped up and he and Scout went at it in the street next to the apartment complex-- but neither one of them were like, trying, and Nopal really didn't help at all beyond throwing the Pokeball. It wasn't too bad for Nopal's first ever time battling, to be fair.

Scout got her name because Nopal texted her sister, Nadie, asking what the hell Sentret even do, and Nadie replied that in the wild it was a lookout or scouting Pokemon. Nopal is not very creative, so, Scout!

Sentret are very nervous creatures by nature but Scout is. Not. She's actually pretty lazy but she does like to forage for berries and shiny objects whenever she's out and about. She and Tesla get on like a house on fire

Nopal's working on training her to help with search and rescue! Nopal still mostly works construction and odd jobs, but she's a volunteer for a lot of crisis networks, so she's trying to train her Pokemon in accordance with that, at least a little bit.

Scout, to her credit, takes to it incredibly well! Sentret have incredibly keen eyes and ears, and Furret even more so; they're amazing at getting into hard to reach places and getting trapped people and Pokemon out of them. Even for the species, Scout really enjoys the work!

Scout's very good at calming down people who have been rescued; Nopal sometimes refers to her as a 'shock blanket with eyes' which is a pretty fair comparison to make. She doesn't like to leave the sides of people or Pokemon who have gone through something traumatic without being sure they're going to be okay!

She doesn't particularly like battling, but she does very much enjoy exploring!

I'm gonna try and evolve her into Furret asap because i jsut. i really love Furret

i need SO MANY TMS FOR HER i want her to have a killer moveset
