Two Seeds ✿ Route 31 ✿ Video

[The screen switches on to show Anissa, smiling nice and proud for the onlookers. And yet when she speaks up she sounds rushed.]

Hello! I just wanted to show my progress with my Budew! And since she's found such a tough little Caterpie, we've decided to try and catch it! Just a little more now...

Okay, Ruth! Absorb!

[Here you go, watchers. One tiny little bud is fighting a bug that actually dwarfs her in size. But indeed, the health-sapping attack helps bring the Caterpie down to a struggling faint, and the Gear swerves a bit as Anissa apparently throws her pokéball-

Just as a loud noise comes from behind her, and this drifts right into sight.]


-what?!

[Too late, the pokéball grabs the wrong target, and against the odds (or, with the help of a willing victim) the capture is made.

Enjoy the silence of shocked Anissa, confused Budew, and escaping Caterpie, before the feed suddenly cuts out.]

It depends on the species. Hoppip are really easy to catch, even if you don't weaken them.

-well that does clear up how I actually managed this.

But, even if I don't really mind, I will have to be careful it doesn't happen again...

Just be aware of your surroundings. That's usually all it takes.

Clearly I'll need to practice at that a little more.

At least when I'm trying to capture something!

Definitely do it for regular battles, too. You need to know what's going on around you if you want to win.

-that's a good point, given another wild one could attack at any time.

I guess there's a lot I still have to learn.

Everything will come. I had a head start because of martial arts training I got back home, and I had to learn it then, too.

Really? Wow, that background must help though, with encouraging your team in training...

I didn't really expect to do much fighting, myself. But it seems, Pokémon often want to?

[Video]

[wontdieifkilled]

They do. They enjoy fighting, and it's good to have a strong team, anyway.

[Video]

[marimbagirl]

Yes... and if being strong in fighting, is part of growing strong in general, I should help my Ruth with it more.

And now this little one.

[wontdieifkilled]

That's a good way to look at it. Best of luck!

Thank you! I'll do my best to put your advice to good use!
