Agrizoophobia (nice ask box title btw 100/10)
Agrizoophobia: Our muses encounter a wild animal.
Hunting could be a dangerous and arduous hobby. One could never be sure if their next encounter with a ferocious beast could be their last. Of course, one could derive a sort of daredevil excitement from the looming threat. With an Elmer Fudd-style hunting cap precariously balanced on his ‘fro, Bo-bobo set out in the wild yonder with hunting buddy in tow, ready to take on whatever dangers lied ahead.
“Alright, Papyrus,” Bo-bobo says in a hushed tone. “We should be getting closer–Shh, shh!” Bo-bobo beckons the Guard-in-Training to take cover behind a nearby bush with him. “It’s right there!” Bo-bobo’s hands clam up as he contemplates his next move. One false step and the catch of the century could slip from his grasp. Taking a deep breath to calm his nerves, he looks to his hunting partner and nods. “Alright, here goes.”
He leaps out of the bush, phone in hand.
“You’re not getting away from me, Dragonite!”
His pointer finger expertly flicks across the smartphone’s screen, the virtual capsule flinging toward the Dragonite. The Poke Ball directly hits its target. Bo-bob bit his bottom lip as he stared anxiously at the screen.
One shake…Two shakes…A sudden stop. The Dragonite bursts out of the Poke Ball. Bo-bobo falls to his knees, slamming his fist against the undergrowth of the forest.
“Nooooo! That was my last Poke Ball! Lady Blanche, how could you forsake me?!”
Just as Bo-bobo wallows in self-pity, a beautiful, majestic deer arrives on the scene. Truly any nature buff would have loved to gaze upon such a captivating creature. Bo-bobo, however, wasn’t havin’ that shit.
“Get outta here, ya dumb animal! Stantler isn’t even Gen 1!”
Bo-bobo, without warning, rips off Papyrus’s whole arm and tossed it at the deer, scaring it away. Bo-bobo sighed. “Sorry, Pap. We’re not gonna catch ‘em all today.”
