[Samuel Brookes]

Well this place was creepy, and rather far from his dorm. Samuel didn't think he had ever explored such a spooky place, and that was saying something given his rather adventurous habits. Still, with Rune at his side he felt like he could do anything- even tackle a ghost pokemon, not that he particularly wanted such an encounter.

He paused, patting the Absol gently as he looked around. What did he hope to find here? Something fiery, he thought. His sister had had a houndoom- a houndour would be nice for him to train his own way. Then again, vulpix were quite cute, and poochyena too, though the latter wasn't even part fire type. Samuel chewed his lip thoughtfully, before deciding he would just catch whatever he spotted first. Unless it was creepy, anyway. 

(Looking for: Houndour, Vulpix or Poochyena)

[Samuel Brookes]

As usual, Rune noticed the danger first. But instead of giving her usual warning cry, she gently nudged Samuel's hand. He soon saw why when he turned to see what she had spotted.

Oh, of all the pokemon it had to be a Sableye- a creepy, jewel-eyed Sableye. Of course. And weren't they a ghost-type? A quick check of his pokedex confirmed that suspicion, and Samuel sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. Well, it was also a dark-type, he supposed, and he didn't mind them. After all, he had an Absol by his side. And it could be useful, maybe. Face your fears, and all that. Besides, it could have been worse, like a Gastly, or something.

Samuel chewed his lip. "What do you say, Rune? Do we catch him or not?"

Rune made a gesture that could have been a shrug. That was helpful. With a small frown at his Absol, Samuel made the decision to try catching the Sableye, and quickly sent out Striker to do the job.

"Use Thunder Fang!" he ordered. His Shinx leapt forwards, his fangs sparking with electricity as he struck the Sableye. The wild pokemon retaliated almost instantly with a Feint Attack, knocking Striker over with the blow.

Striker got back to his paws and shook his head, narrowing his eyes at the Sableye. Samuel grinned, knowing his Shinx was eager to continue fighting. "Alright, now try Spark!"

The yellow and black Shinx nodded and leapt forwards. Samuel winced as Striker hit the sableye again. That had to hurt. The sableye staggered back and tripped, and in the same moment, Samuel threw a pokeball at it. When it had stopped wobbling, he hurried to retrieve it, dropping to pet Striker as he did.

"Good work, Striker. You're pretty tough!" Striker growled as if to say 'of course I am', and Samuel grinned at him before picking the Shinx up to let him nap in his arms. Smiling despite the fact his catch wasn't quite what he had hoped for, Samuel turned to head back to his dorm, deciding it was best not to push his luck around here for too long.
