Party:

With Sol by her side, Mallory wandered over the plateau, debating whether or not anything useful could actually be found here. It looked pretty barren to her, not the ideal place to find a Pokémon. But there was a chance she would get lucky, and it was a chance she was hoping for.

Party:

It was Sol who alerted Mallory that they weren't alone, his low rumbling growl drawing her attention to the Sandshrew curled up in their path. Rather than just going around it, Mallory decided this would be a good chance to train her Squirtle just a bit more. After all, she had challenges to prepare for.

She sent out Diver without any further hesitation, pointing towards the Sandshrew. "Ice Beam." The order was quiet and surprisingly gentle, spoken in the voice usually reserved for when in another person's presence, but it was still an order she expected to be obeyed promptly.

Diver drew up his head, forming the ice-blue ball in his mouth before firing blue beams from it. The attack struck the Sandshrew directly- the yellow Pokémon lurched, looking startled, before retaliating with a number of yellow stars. Swift.

"Hydro Pump."

Though the order was no louder than the previous, Diver still heard it and obeyed. He was steadily growing stronger, Mallory realised without surprise. This time the attack knocked the Sandshrew out cold, and Mallory quickly captured it.

"Good job, Diver." The rare praise made the Squirtle lift his head up in surprise. Mallory called him back into his PokeBall before patting Sol and turning to head back to her dorm. A Sandshrew wasn't a brilliant addition, but it was better than nothing, and a type she wouldn't otherwise have.
