Perhaps it hadn’t been wise to bring River into a place like this, but he believed she was strong enough to handle anything they might find at this point. Her evolution had made her powerful and intimidating, and she was well on her way to reaching her final stage. At least, he was pretty sure she’d become a Greninja in the next week or two, provided he continued her training at their current pace.

The Origin Grunt led his froglike Pokemon through the plains, looking around for any Pokemon luck might grant them. The number of Pokemon under his command was starting to get a bit unwieldy, but this was the best way he knew of to do his part for the team. More Pokemon meant more strength at their disposal, so he’d just have to learn how to adjust.

Something darted right past him and he stared as an Elektrike sped away, waving around the lightning rods. River gave chase, nimbly dodging the obstacles as she tried to close in on the wild Pokemon. Luke wasn’t as fast as the Frogadier, so all he could do was stand there and watch – and hope she didn’t mess up and end up touching one of the things.

Fortunately, that didn’t happen. River continued to give chase as the Electrike led her around the plains, neither one ending up shocked despite the hazards. Eventually, they stopped, and Luke sprinted over to find both Pokemon out of breath.

“Did you enjoy your run?” Luke patted River on the head and turned to the Electrike. “It looks like you made a friend. How would you like to join us and make more?”

The Electrike stared at him, but made no noise or gesture that would indicate any interest in joining. He waited a bit, and then nodded and started back home with River following. It seemed like they’d be going home empty-handed today, but eventually the Electrike would catch its breath and sprint after them, and Luke would make the capture official as soon as they were away from the lightning rods.
